The 3 worst morning habits you want to unlearn now
That you wake up in the morning and think: YES, I slept well and woke up refreshed. Have you ever noticed that when you have that feeling, the rest of your day seems to go much smoother?
The opposite works the same for me. If I have a hectic morning, all the hours that follow seem to be stressful too, and I run around and forget everything. Yes, really: the way you start your day sets the tone for the rest of the day. Then the question is: how do you start your day? I can tell you: I have also become wiser through trial and error. These are bad morning habits that you can definitely skip for a nice energy in the morning.
Don't do it: start your day in the dark
It may sound nice and cozy to start your day in the dark, but people who immediately throw open the curtains have a lower BMI than those who linger longer in the dark. According to researchers, twenty to thirty minutes of daylight can already have a positive effect on your BMI, even if it's cloudy. Ahaaa.
Don't do it: eat in the morning when you, um, are not hungry at all
We have been raised with the idea that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, right? That can really be true for many, but not for everyone. Are you in the group of people who have to force themselves to have breakfast in the morning? Then you might as well choose intermittent fasting. Whoa, stop: that doesn't mean you eat less, you just push your breakfast a few hours later and therefore eat your dinner a bit later too. I felt EXTREMELY energetic in the morning while fasting. Make sure to read up on it, intermittent fasting is a whole different ball game. Maybe it works for you too.
For those who are hungry… don't do it: breakfast with dessert-like stuff
And I'm not just talking about cheesecake and brownies, but also think about waffles, muffins, and even some breakfast cereals that are loaded with sugar and carbohydrates. Especially take them when you feel like it, but I'm telling you: if you choose this kind of breakfast, there's a good chance you'll have cravings all day once you come down from your sugar high. And yes, that happens faster than you think. A better idea for nice energy? A healthy smoothie, oatmeal, yogurt with fruit, or a whole grain sandwich with a protein-rich product.
Yes Kiek, nice then. What you should do for a nice morning routine?
– Invest. In. A. Good. Night's sleep. Yes, you can learn this. And once you can, you'll be happy.
– Start the day with a glass of water.
– Open your curtains immediately after getting up and go outside for a bit.
– Eat healthy.
– Don't let yourself be rushed by things you have no control over.
– Make it a bit pleasant for yourself. Read a good book on the train or listen to your favorite music in the car.
– A portion of morning sex is a very good idea to start the day with the right happiness hormones.
